Big news from one of America's multi-billionaires:
Twitter and Square co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey is worth $4.9 billion, according to Forbes.
But the 43-year-old college drop-out says he plans to give away all of his money within his lifetime.
Why?
“I live by the principle of everything is connected, so if someone is in pain, I’m in pain, ultimately, over time,” Dorsey told former Democratic presidential hopeful and universal basic income advocate Andrew Yang on an episode of the “Yang Speaks” podcast published Thursday.
“I want to make sure that I’m doing whatever I can in my lifetime to help that through my companies’ works, through my own personal giving,” Dorsey told Yang.
“I want to give out all my money in my lifetime. I want to see the impacts, selfishly, in my lifetime,” Dorsey told Yang. “I want to make sure that we’re helping people.”

Good for him for making this commitment. Now the hard part...... choosing what his legacy will be. What causes will he advocate for? What projects will he fund?
This'll be interesting to watch unfold.
